Electric vehicles (EVs) will no longer be exempt from vehicle excise duty (VED) from April 2025.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt announced that he wanted to make motoring taxes “fairer” as he revealed the policy in his autumn statement.
He said: “Because the OBR (Office for Budget Responsibility) forecast half of all new vehicles will be electric by 2025, to make our motoring tax system fairer I’ve decided that from then, electric vehicles will no longer be exempt from vehicle excise duty.”
